Afrobeat Stars Seun Kuti and Rema Join Coachella 2025 Lineup

The lineup for the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been revealed, promising a star-studded event. Nigerian superstars Rema and Seun Kuti will represent Nigeria on one of the world’s biggest stages. The festival, known for attracting massive crowds to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will run from April 11-13 and April 18-20, 2025.

Seun Kuti, one of Afrobeat’s most celebrated figures, will be making his historic return to Coachella for the third time. This achievement makes him the Nigerian artist with the most Coachella appearances. Kuti, the son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, first made history in 2012 by becoming the first Nigerian to perform at the festival. His return to the stage in 2025 will undoubtedly be a monumental moment for both him and his fans, as he continues to carry the torch of Afrobeat music to global audiences. Meanwhile, Rema, who has taken the international music scene by storm, will be making his Coachella debut. Furthermore, the Nigerian singer-songwriter has found tremendous success in the U.S., particularly with his hit ‘Calm Down,’ which became the most streamed song by a Nigerian artist. His growing global popularity will make his Coachella performance one of the most anticipated moments of the festival.

Coachella 2025 will also feature headliners like Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Nigerian artists have shined in recent years, with Burna Boy, Tems, Fireboy, CKay, and DJ Spinall all performing. Tems stood out at Coachella 2024, joining Wizkid and Justin Bieber for their ‘Essence’ remix.

With Seun Kuti and Rema performing in 2025, Coachella will remain a key platform for Afrobeat and Nigerian artists. Fans can expect an unforgettable festival filled with cultural fusion, star power, and amazing talent.
